What is your file system like?
In my previous posting "Linux VS Windows usability" I rambled on about the two operating systems and at how similar they really are. I also alluded that while the interface is similar it is what is underneath in the basic design that really makes the difference. I want to expand on that.
The design of the Windows and Linux file systems are as different from each other as night is from day. They both serve the same purpose. They offer a way of organising files and directories. I will start off with the Windows file system.
You most probably know that the Linux file system is based on the Unix(tm) way of doing things. BSD also uses this type of system. The Linux file system doesn't have things like drive letters. As far as Linux is concerned its file system is just one big happy area and all it has to worry about is files and directories.
